Hi,

I read the KDE traffic#71 and find the discussion on image viewers 
interesting. 

I switched to linux slightly more than half a year ago and I have decided on 
KDE against gnome. Before that I was using ACDSee on Windows and naturally I 
was looking for something similar, and preferable a KDE application. I've 
tried the latest version of gthumb (a gnome image viewer), showimg(0.81), 
gwenview(1.0), imgSeek(0.82) and of course kuickshow and kview.

I was sad to say that kuickshow was too primitive; showimg crush and freeze 
all the time (especially after deleting files from within showimg); therefore 
I have been using gthumb until gwenview-1.0pre4 where external tools are 
usable. 

I now use gwenview-1.0 mainly because it does not freeze up like showimg. I 
have krename configure as one of the external tools so that I can do series 
rename. And I use imgSeek as a standalone application for finding duplicate 
images. 

Between showimg and gwenview, I still find showimg a better and more complete 
image viewer, in terms of feature and completeness - it have built in series 
renamer, and deplicate image finder while imgSeek cannot be beaten in terms 
of imaging seeking and duplicate finding capabilities.

If the image viewer applications were to be merge into one, I would choose the 
interface of showimg, the stability of gwenview and the duplicate image and 
image seeking features of imgSeek and use krename as an external tool for 
renaming images.

Just my 5 cents worth of opinions.


Best regards,
Chin Yee
